You can just download this package (with some live distro for example): net-dialup:rp-pppoe-3.10-r1~0.tbz2 (and md5 file) from sabayon repositories and install it with:# equo install --nodeps net-dialup:rp-pppoe-3.10-r1~0.tbz2

You dont need gui at this moment, when you connect you can install other dependencies

is a bad choice because for some of us, main internet access is trough a broadband fiberlink provider, like rdslink.ro, who use by default only pppoe with user and password ...

for this users, access to internet is impossible because of this egg and chicken problem:you need internet access to download rp-pppoe package to set a proper pppoe connection to ... internet ...

manual downloading entropy net-dialup/rp-pppoe package

AND

dev-lang/tk package because is not instaled also, moving to proper locations, is a bit too much for a causal user ... and kill any userfriendlyness philosophy for romanian linux users, for example, because a big part of it is accessing internet using rdslink internet provider.

i can have a little clues why, because even if is all packages installed still networking is crippled until you shutdown NetworkManager service, using

is a dead connection with NetworkManager and pppoe stomping on each other business ...

LE:if you are unluky with no internet because you need a working pppoe setup, you need to download this two packages using alternative paths to net. Find and save, to an usb flash pendisk ofcourse, this two binary entropy packages:

now you can apply last three steps from top of this post and you internet is working ...

even more later LE:i hope until now is obvious that i am talking about a working kde 4.x setup ... my environment is sabayon linux kde4 x86_64 livedvd ... in kde 4.x network manager applet all options except wired and wireless connection is greyed out and not working ... is a dsl tab but greyed ... this is why graphical and userfriendly interfaces is not available, only that antinque tkpppoe interface ... maybe in gnome this package:

Some users found that is missing a package that allows to configure OOTB and ona fresh installed system a pppoe connection.The package is already in entropy, only need to be added to the future isorelease.The package is net-dialup/rp-pppoe.Actually we have in entropy net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.10-r1Thanks

marked for inclusion in 5.1.

look like will be in next sabayon release , v5.1 ... who is already out ... anybody can confirm, is net-dialup/rp-pppoe included in sabayon linux v5.1 livedvd?

linux is free, the expertise to harness it is not!you don't make so much money selling open source software! You make MORE money USING it, just like google!linux registered user #352479

ok. went through the ordeal, got it to work.But killing the networkManager is far from elegant, and will scare people away.The solution on ubuntu is to install latest networkManager from PPA.Could anyone update networkManager to whatever version gets pppoe working and push it to repos? Thanks

I used ubuntu for 2 years and now I changed to Sabayon! a gentoo based distro, completely different from a debian based one....

I have many problems, but one of them is connecting to internet (adsl) using a terminal command. in debians I use pppoeconf and pon to connect to internet. noticed that rp-pppoe works in Sabayon...

when I setup a connection via sudo rp-pppoe-setup and make it start via sudo rp-pppoe-start, it tells me ...connected! and the status option tells me the IP addresses, and they are correct indeed. but I see nothing happens! Firefox does not open a website, and ping also does not work. But when I connect via NetworkManager, everything is fine!

has a working dsl tab, so a pppoe connections can be very easy now to setup ... no more need for a convoluted and very newbie scary offline way to setup an pppoe internet connection! if you have networkmanager >v0.7.2 is very easy now to setup an pppoe network acces.
